Title: EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF ICE ACCRETION ON AIRFOIL
Abstract: Open Circuit Icing Research Tunnel was developed to test the ice shape under simulated icing conditions. Standard icing blade technique was used to measure liquid water content (LWC) in the icing tunnel test section. The uniformity of liquid water content was assessed by accreting ices on aluminum cylinder bars. Mean volumetric diameter (MVD) of the spray cloud was determined by soot-coated slide and verified through the limits of impingement. Ice accretion tests were performed on a NACA0012 wing model in typical rime and glaze conditions. Results were compared to ice shapes numerically predicted by Messinger method in the same conditions. It is indicated that good overall agreement is achieved in both icing shape and impingement limit.
